LONDON. April 24.-Artillery bomb-

ardments alone are taking place on the French and Belgian fronts. the scenes of greatest activity being the region of Le Mort Homme and in Ar- gonne forest with the Germans as ag- gressors in the former and the French in the later sector. French aviators in squadron formation have dropped large' numbers of shells on German po- sitions at St. Nay. Dnnen and near Montfaunoll. Fighting between Rus- sians. Germans and Austrians along the eastern front continues but there are no important chances of positions. The same is true of the Austro-Italian zone. The British have been success-

fukin an operation near Duerdar Egypt repulslng with heavy losses a Turkish attack. in Kut-El-Amara region in Mesopotamia despite the recent check the British are keeping up their ef- forts to relieve the siege oi'»Kut-El-Am- ara. The town of Sannayyat is still under bombardment of British guns. 'Sir Roger Casement. Leader of the

Irish separatist party, who is reported to have negotiated with Germany cou- cerning au invasion of Ireland, has been captured from a German ship sunk while attempting to landarms in Ireland. England received another visit from Zeppellns, three of the alr- ships dropped incendiary bombs on east counties. _

‘ the best of us cannot afford to say ill

' e .

The laat speaker' on the Government

side in the Budget debate was the hon. H. D. McEwen. _ '

Hon. H. D. McEWEN said that al-

most since'the opening of the session he had been sitting down watching the Opposition chewing hay and oats. (Laughter). He really thought they had come down there to business and not to listen to long senseless speeches by the Opposition 97 per cent of which had nothing in them. The Opposition hada duty to perform, and they in the Government side recognized it. It was their duty to criticize the acts and measures of the Govemment. and to see that it lived up tp its profession. They in the Government side had no_ objection of the Opposition making the most of these opportunities. The Opposition had a perfect right to say how in their opinion things should be done. But while they admitted that the Opposition were entitled to dis- charge these duties, still they expect ed them to speak the truth and not to twist the facts and figures round to suit their own convenience and to _misrepresent them to the country. (Applause.) He did not like mud- slinging and personalities, as these were objectionable, under any cir- cumstances and did not add to that dignity which should characterize the debates of that House. There was no one so perfect that he could afford 'to indulge in personalities at the ex- pense of others, and if they once per- mitted it, they would soon degrade the proceedings of the House and bring it into dlsrepute in the country. (Applause.). Some one had said “there is so much good in the worst of us and so much bad in the best of us, that

io: the worst or osx Now, if they would just bear that in mind in the course of their discussions they would be less inclined to indulge in personal- ities. Of course the Opposition had been scolding them, attempting to block their measures and insinuating 'all kinds of things against them. But the Government was not afraid of honest criticism for it had nothing to hide. They had near) a lot about ex-

again to cite specific instances.. Had they done so? Would the Opposition tell them one bridge they should not have built, one man they should have discharged, one salary they should have reduced? lf they knew any one oi’ these thlngsfthen let them tell it for goodness sake! There was no re- sponse. They talked in gcneralities about extravagance but would not say where anything had been spent that could have been saved. Mr. McEwen then proceeded to review the past re- card of the Liberal Governments and showed how they had wasted and squandered money especially at elec- tion times. He knew the Opposition did not like to he referred to the past, some hon. gentlemen would rather sec their' great graudmother’s ghost than have their past record exposed. He dwelt at some length on the twenty years of Liberal deficits. and the great scandals associated with them especially those in which the present leader of the Opposition had had a hand. He then referred to the prohi- bition Law and asked if any unbiased person would say that the law was not better administered now than dur- ing the Liberal regime. There was not a church or temperance society but admitted that conditions were in- finitely better then they were under the Liberals. There was one thing they could say, they had not discharg- ed a prosecutor for doing too _well-as the Liberals did -in the case of Mr. Ed- wards. (Applause). Passing to the Auto question, Mr. McEwen was sur- prised tbat any man should stand up in that House and say that the people could not have autos .if they wanted to. What right had a few people in Bedeque for instance to arrogate to, themselves the/right to ‘say what any other part of the Provmce should or should not have? What right had these people to say to the people of Kings, for instance, that because_"we don't want Autos. you shan't have them.” The thing was preposterous. Mr. Hughes presumed there was only one side to the question and that his own. 'Phat was not the attitude pf the Government. It had adopted the fair-

could not see why the Opposi- tion had mnde such o. dead set at the

Government.The Liberals had starved education. had starved public works, had run the country head- long into debt. It was strange but true that wherever you found a Lib- eral Government in power you found deficits and huge public debt. That was the case with Nova Scotia where thc Liberals. had been in power for 30 years. and where they had piled up a debt of $13,500,000. in Alberta, where the interest charges absorbed 42 per cent of the revenue, and in Saskatchewan. lt had been the same here. For twenty years there .had been nothing but deficits, deficits, de- ficits. until people came to look for nothing else. and the only question asked, was "how much this year?" The Liberal Government here had tax- ed everything in sight and out of

sight-the llxng and the dead. (Ap- plause). In years they had drawn $1,000,000 in taxes from our people, and when they went out of oillce they left $1,072,000 debt behind them for the present Government to shoulder lt was a happy day for the country when the present party came img Power. with its progressive policy and its motto of “onward and upward" l U19 Path 0! Dl'0gress and prosperity. Their friend the Leader of the Oppo- sition had been composing an epitaph for the Premier. He was not in a posi- tion to Judge what posterity would say of the Premier or any other of his contemporaries. History how- ever, usually did justice, and they would find that many of thugs men whom their contemporaries praised and lauded were quickly forgotten, while many of these men who during their lifetime were abused and bit- terly attacked by their contemporaries were done ample justice to by an ap- preciative posterity. The epitnph of the Premier would be the verdict of an impartial posterity.“Here lies one of the Island’s ablest and most pro. gressive statesmen." (La Applause).

The men ui' No. 5 Siege Battery__wlt0

have been drilling in the-Market House since recruiting started had their llrst tum-out on Prince of Wales College grounds yesterday. Judging by the smart appearance of these men it would seem that they mltllt be old artillery men or if not both officers and men deserve a great deal of credit. ' _

Charlottetown has done nobly so

far in the recruiting for the New

Siege Battery now in course of forma- » » ,

tion by Lieutenant Col. Peake. No less than forty men 'from the city have been enrolled. A large number of applications have been received from the country and when the roads arc fit, it is expected- that the men will be coming inat' 3 livdly rate. The strength of the Battery tip to last night was sixty men. P . E. Islanders desirous of joining this pop- ular branch of the service should lose no time in getting their application as New Brunswick and Nova Scotia are both trying hard foraplace in the Bat-

tery.
